On Wednesday morning last Dr
H B Elliott the veterinary surgeon

Mrs J R Wilson of Hilo were
married The ceremony was per
formed in the Hilo Hotel by Father

one of the private dining rooms
which was prettily decorated for tho
occasion After the breakfast Dr
and Mrs Elliott left for the Volcano
House amidst showers of rice
Tho annual meeting of tho Hilo
Foreign Church was held on tho
21st inst The meeting was preceded
by a dinner sorved in the church
parlors to which about 125 members
of the congregation sat down and
an excellent dinner it was proving
beyond a doubt that the ladies of
Hilo can prepare as good a dinner
as any one need wish for When all
the guestB had eaten enough the
meeting was called to order and tho
yearly reports were read showing
that the church was in a flourishing
financial condition with 117 tnem
bers At the close of the meeting
Auld Lang Syne was sung This
popular melody is sung at the close
of every social function at the
church Hilo is thoroughly yet
pleasantly Scotch
Washingtons birthday was ob
served in Hilo in grand stylo by a
dinner followed by a public ball
Tho manager of the hotel Mr
Glaze prepared a sumptuous dinner
even bettor than his opening din
nr From 530 till almost 0 oclock
the large dining room was fillt d
with guests During the dinner the
Wela Ka Hao quintet club played a
number of Hawaiian and othr popu
lar airs After the dinner oame the
ball which was kept up till early
morning Thus in Hilo was the
memory of Gorge Washington kept
green aud thus was it further im
pressed upon the minds of the peo
ple of Hilo that Manager Glaze is
a man who believes in promoting
sociability Were it not for him it
is doubtful whether Hilo would have
had any celebration of the anniver
eary of the birth of America great
est American and the 200 people
who attended tho dinner and ball
some of whom came in to town from
the country will long remember
tho enjoyable way in which they
kept the day

Special Dispntch to Tho Call
Washington Feb 13 Senator
Fairbanks from the Senate Commit
tee on Immigration to day reported
back to the Senate the bill extend
ing tho anti contract labor laws of
the TJuited States to Hawaii with
amendments makiug the bill cover
all immigration questions
Tho amendments specifically in
clude the Chinese exclusion acts
The bill was accompanied by a writ
ten report in which the committee
says
The committee is of the opinion
that since the Hawaiian Islands
have coino within the jurisdiction
and authority of tho United States
our immigration laws should bo so
extended as to protect the citizens
aud laborers in those Islands from
invasion by immigration of unde
sirable BubjectB or citizens of other
countries Under tho municipal
legislation of the Hawaiian Islands
the importation of contract laborers
is expressly sanctioned This class
of immigration forms by far the
larger portion of the objectionable
elements now being imported into
the Islauds and is entirey repug
nant to the policy of the United
States
Since the passage of the joint res
olution of annexation there has
been a decided impetus given to the
importation of contract laborers
into tho Inlands by tho sugar plan
tation owners The committee is
informed that each vessel from
Asiatic countries is increasing the
list of contract laborers and unless
sonw restrictive measures are adopt-

There shall be no further immigra

This provision tho committee re
gards a inadequate inasmuch as it
does not provide for appreheuding

should they laud in contravention
of the terms of tho joint resolution
